Added-Value of Diffusion-Weighted Imaging (DWI) and Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced (DCE-MRI) Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Preoperative Assessment of Cervical Cancer.
Article in Journal of obstetrics and gynaecology of India, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the added-value of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) in the preoperative assessment of carcinoma cervix. Methods: This prospective study was carried out on histopathologically proven 45 patients of carcinoma cervix presented to a tertiary care hospital with bleeding per vagina between August 2017 and July 2018. Relevant local per vaginal examination and MRI examination of the pelvis were performed. Results: A total of 45 patients with carcinoma of the cervix, having 11 patients (24.4%) in Stage-I, 22 patients (48.9%) in Stage-II, 3 patients (6.7%) in Stage-III and 9 patients (20%) in stage-IV, were included in this study sample. The mean ADC value of the carcinoma of cervix was 0.802 ± 0.123 [SD] × 10 Conclusion: The DWI and DCE-MRI added valuable inputs over conventional MR sequences in the early diagnosis and preoperative staging of carcinoma cervix. DCE-MRI had a high accuracy for assessing the cervical stromal and parametrial invasions, which helps in selecting the optimal therapeutic protocol and prognostication in gynecological malignancies.
